Press release available only in original language.
TORRANCE, Calif., APRIL 12, 2019—Leading up to the 45th running of the #acura Grand Prix of #longbeach, the iconic race’s new title sponsor has established a production car record around the 1.968 mile historic street circuit in the 2019 #acura NSX.
In the capable hands of SCCA Hall-of-Famer and long-time #acura #racing partner, Peter Cunningham, the 2019 NSX established a new production car lap record of 1:35.663. The record setting run was made with an unmodified NSX, fitted with road-legal tires.
The 2019 NSX will also serve as the official Pace Car for the #acura Grand Prix of #longbeach. Race action includes a run for the checkered flag by #acura Team Penske, fielding a pair of ARX-05 Daytona Prototypes driven by Helio Castroneves and Juan Pablo Montoya along with Ricky Taylor and Dane Cameron co-driving, respectively, in the BUBBA Burger Sports Car Grand Prix at #longbeach on Saturday. Acura will also join the field in Sunday’s NTT IndyCar Series race with a car campaigned by Meyer Shank #racing and driven by Jack Harvey, marking the return of #acura colors to Indy Car #racing for the first time since 1994.
